My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mowing after overseeding/patching lawn?

10 years ago

So I over seeded and patched parts of my front lawn last weekend and I am just starting to see seeds sprouting today, but with the starter fertilizer and constant watering the rest of the grass is growing like crazy!


Can/should I mow my front lawn or should I just let it look rough until the new seeds are fully matured?
